Chanel Amorosa (487) Rouge Coco Shine
Chanel Amorosa (487) Rouge Coco Shine ($36.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium brown with warm, reddish tones and a fine gold shimmer. Tom Ford Beauty Rose Soleil (P, $50.00) is more shimmery. Bite Beauty Moka (P, $28.00) is more opaque, lighter, less shimmery. Tom Ford Beauty Blake (LE, $32.00) is darker, cooler-toned. Guerlain Air Kiss (304) (P, $37.00) is cooler-toned. NARS Bansar (P, $25.00) is less shimmery, more matte. MAC Moody Bloom (LE, $17.00) is cooler-toned. Estee Lauder Irresistible (P, $30.00) is cooler-toned, less shimmery. Tom Ford Beauty Bittersweet (03) (LE, $50.00) is darker. Bobbi Brown Plum Shimmer (3) (P, $26.00) is darker. Chanel Ambigue (124) (LE, $34.00) is more matte. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.
I typically find Rouge Coco Shines to actually be drying, when it’s supposed to be a hydrating formulation with sheerer color coverage (whereas the regular Rouge Cocos have more coverage and less shine and the Rouge Allures have even more coverage and a more satin-like finish). In promos, this looked more like a taupe, and long-time readers will know that I love more unusual colors, and this one is limited edition (the other three shades in the collection are not), I figured I’d try it. It’s by no means taupe, and it behaved much like Rouge Coco Shines have in the past–two and a half hour wear and slightly drying over time. The texture is balm-like, lightweight, and glides on well, and the coverage is more semi-sheer with this particular shade, though I’d expect if you have more color in your natural lips, it’ll be hard to tell either way.

That color looks lovely on you, Christine!
Thank you, Alix!
Glad I passed on this. If it were hydrating may be worth it.
I don’t know why this formula is drying for me 🙁 I have the same issue with MAC’s Lustres!
It’s a shame that they are balm-like and yet drying over time. I’ll need to steer clear which is so hard to do because they always look so pretty!
They have a great shine in their finish, but boy, it’s such a bummer they aren’t ultra-hydrating!
It looks great on you! 🙂
Thanks, Christina!
Too sheer for me!
Totally understand!
I have Guerlain Air Kiss dupe and like that formula .. I get longer wear. Rouge Coco Shines do have a pretty glossier finish though. This is my idea of what a coloured lip balm or sheer lipstick should be. Has the right amount of pigment vs sheerness.
I think so, too – not too much color, not too little, shine without being a true gloss.
With some hydration, this would be perfect!
I like Air Kiss! It’s like a balm for my lip color. 🙂
Hello Lotus 🙂 it is somewhat similar to my lip colour too, but definitely warmer and less plummy, 100% absolutely wearable regardless. My fav KissKiss = Pinky Groove which plays up the plum colour in mine.
Hi Wendy! I envy you can wear Pinky Groove! It’s so beautiful! The most accurate way I can depict my lip pigment color is Rouge D’Armani 609 plum as a stain. Makes colors difficult! 🙂
Too brown for my coloring but I have a feeling this will be very popular!
I wonder if it will be!
Such a pretty MLBB color. I have the Guerlain Air Kiss dupe already – I was eyeing it for the longest time and finally caved. It’s the most expensive lippie I have, but I love the color, goes well with bold shadows. Also love your eye look!
Thank you, Katherine!
This is a great shade to wear as a throw-and-go, BUT not so ultra sheer and as poorly lasting at this price point as this one!!! So I am now seriously kicking myself for not getting Moody Bloom last year….heck, my local MAC store still had this one for sale this past January! Coulda, shoulda, didn’t.
I’m sure we’ll see something like Moody Bloom again!
I’m hoping sooner rather than later…..please, MAC?
It’s actually a really pretty shade on. I thought it would be too sheer and colorless, but it works. Too bad about the formula.
It is a pretty shade!
This looks sort of like the old Coco Shine 42, Biarritz. Is it similar Christine?
I don’t think I have that shade! I googled, because I couldn’t recall but didn’t find a review that I’ve done.
Darn. I was hoping maybe you had a comparison. I love Biarritz and they discontinued it. I was hoping this might be a dupe. Thanks for trying Christine; I appreciate it!!
Love this color and texture appearance. Lipstick only wears a couple hours in me so not an issue. Looks so good on you and with your coloring.
Thank you, Susan!
This colour really is a daytime look and it really looks lovely on you Christine.
I think I would find it too sheer for me, especially at that price.
Thanks a lot, Genevieve!
I really like the color on you. It is very natural looking, but better. I own a few of these too. I like the shine, but the formula is not great. Also, although I like the scent of roses, I prefer not to have it on my lips
Thank you, Jill!
Pretty shade, I like it!
Yay!
I prefer Clinique’s Color Surge Buttershine Lipstick! They’re so wonderful yet entirely underrated. They feel amazing on. Quite a fraction of the cost too! This still looks nice on you, though! 🙂 Bummer about the lack of hydration!
Good to know the Buttershine formula is nice!
Oh, Christine! For over 20 years!!!! Their original slim matte lipsticks were my HG. And their blush. I bought out everything left from every department store in San Francisco in the late 90s. RECOMMEND!!!!! Would love to see you try one! 😀
A really good colour. It would however not last on my lips, and I don’t need drying lip products. Sorry Chanel.
Short wear time + not super hydrating = no thank you!
Love the color,with it had a little more depth!
Agreed!
